Yes, she deserved to die. If it helps make me a terrorist in your eyes...I'd have shot her myself.

Hmm...

Surprising new research from the University of Texas suggests that people who often say "I" are less powerful and less sure of themselves than those who limit their use of the word. Frequent "I" users subconsciously believe they are subordinate to the person to whom they are talking.

....

"There is a misconception that people who are confident, have power, have high-status tend to use 'I' more than people who are low status," says Dr. Pennebaker, author of "The Secret Life of Pronouns." "That is completely wrong. The high-status person is looking out at the world and the low-status person is looking at himself."

Sure. You didn't expect the liberals when they had an advantage not to **** it all up did you?

Wait. Is Fox complaining about the government NOT funding health care? :confused:

No, they're simply making comment that PBS received $445M when the government has supposedly shutdown all non-essential services, meanwhile I'm commenting that they're refusing treatment to new cancer patients for the last eight days yet still finding a way to cut PBS a check for $445M - misplaced priorities.

ETA: Upon further review, they did go on to mention the NIH impacts within their story. I didn't read that far initially.

They continue to refer to it as a "slimdown." That alone ruins any credibility.

How is that wrong? Really, with almost 87% of the Federal government still operating, it's not a shutdown in the truest sense of the word. Although I will agree that smacks of political chicanery on their part, based upon commonly accepted practices, I do believe that it's a more accurate description.

Considering 85% of the government is essential you may as well let them have their fun.

What I find hysterical is the Republicans find parts of the 15% essential and have passed piecemeal bills to reopen it. Seriously, if we can't cut 15% out of the government for 2 weeks then what is the point of shutting down at all? Oh, that's right. Gut Obamacare. We repealed it 40 times and that didn't work. Romney ran on repealing it, didn't work, so will "slimdown" the gubbermint so they can get out of my Health Care.

Is it any wonder we're circling the drain?

If it's not that bad, then why are they trying to blame the democrats. Own up to the fact that they've been planning this for months.

Re: 2nd Term, Part VI: Burnin' down the House

Soooo...can any conservative out there tell me what this shutdown is currently all about? I've heard its to repeal Obamacare, then defund it, then delay it, then forget about it but work on entitlements, then forget about that but go to a conference committee, then no its about being disrespected??? Has there been a more useless House majority in anybody's memory? Yikes.

The shutdown is about the shutdown. Yet, they want to open certain parts of the shutdown (NIH, WWII Memorial, etc.). See the Repubs want to cut they just don't want to cut anything specific. Well, except food stamps. We're all screwed on food prices pretty soon cause the farm law is going to go back to 1949 because we need the poor to pay the deficit.

For putting the country into this semi-shutdown situation, there's really not any debate in that it's the Republicans who are at fall. However, for choosing which programs to fund and which to put on hiatus, that's almost entirely on the Obama regime's shoulders.
 
Re: 2nd Term, Part VI: Burnin' down the House

Out here in AZ, I'm hearing that Obama had the national park folks not only shut down the Grand Canyon park, but block off all pull off overviews where there is nothing but a small parking lot and a view, apparently just to try to make things a little more painful. The pulloffs are directly on roads into and out of the Canyon that are still open and there's no park personnel involved with those pullouts. No reason to do such a thing other than spite and to try to stir up anger about the partial shutdown.
